"大家都用什么过滤葡萄酒?" ==>
a.  设备: 租($3-10/day)或买(~$80-$500),+
b.  过滤垫(filter pads): $2.5-$4.5 each set, filter 1->3 x 23L.

用咖啡滤纸可以吗? ==>  听过一次, 用2层的咖啡滤纸, 酒会有氧化的危险. (your wine needs to be quite clear to do this)

我用口罩布过滤 ==>  我第一次听到这个 :p

Given time (x months- 1 year), wine does clear by itself.

法国的东西贵，可酒比起加拿大可真是便宜。在超市里看到特价：2.50euro.街上卖酒的商店也随处可见，酒价廉物美。

短暂的春天转眼就要过去了，要到了酿酒的季节。当然，一年四季都可以酿，只是现在的温度更适宜。

还是资深酒友email提醒了我，要不差点把这事给忘了。

资深酒友建议我试试PINK酒，我以前还真没酿过。另外，也在考虑酿气泡酒，感觉更有挑战性。在有就是去BOOTLEGGERS买上好的啤酒KIT，自酿的啤酒可以为BBQ添些气氛。。。

一年之际在于夏呀。。。
